PANK2 Antibody (Mouse Specific) recognizes endogenous levels of total PANK2 protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of mouse PANK2 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
PANK2, pantothenate kinase 2, catalyzes the first step in CoA biosynthesis (1, 2). Human PANK2 is located in the mitochondria, and some mutations in human PANK2 are linked to neurodegeneration (2). Alternatively, mouse PANK2 localizes in the cytosol, and defective PANK2 in mice leads to retinal degeneration (1, 2).
